How to detect Fake Alexa Rank
Domain buyers beware of this.There are ways to display fake alexa rank as well.
Still there are no tools to detect this.
But if you see alexa rank carefully ,you can find it.
Below screen shot shows that erbefole.net Ranked 62 .thumbnail image also from the site .

But the contents are from some other site .

The real ranked site is free.fr .

You can detect it by several ways.
Check alexa description .
Check “Where people go on ” .. Then you can find it.

How this happened. I guess fake site owner direct alexa crawler to real ranked site.
This has happend to Google pageRank also.
Then few web tools to check whether the page rank is real or fake.
I think same thing has to be done for Alexa Rank.
Here is Good idea. Develope a tool called Alexa fake page Rank detection Tool ..

On the other hand if you smart enough to do this , you can sell domain for a high value.

I’m sure there will be tools to detect this near future (if this happens quite frequently) .

You can see there are lots of sites providing Google fake pagerank detection tool. Because there are lots of sites contains fake pagerank. So the same thing will happen to this.

If you know any other site that gives alexa fake pagerank , pls. post it.

I think this is not a good idea to earn money , because these think are not good practices.

Also keep in mind alexa rank is a key factor for

• to become a publisher for some ads networks.
• to sell domain for a high value
